Eighteenth Festival

If it were another person, Ryan might not have expressed his depression. But Ryan was an elder he trusted and loved very much. Moreover, Ryan was the kind of true wise man. Every time he encountered a problem that Ryan could not solve, Ryan could point out a clear path for him.

The previous work of taking Thomas as his teacher was planned by Ruk. This was simply a profitable and promising deal.

"So that's it... Dear nephew, you seem to have made something wrong." After listening to Ryan's story, Ruke burst into laughter.

"What am I wrong?"

"You hope to marry Princess Irina?"

"Yes! I love her...I..."

"I understand, I understand. Our princess is destined to be a queen. Marrying a queen requires a lot of money, and of course, the reward is also amazing. Your children will be the next king..."

"I don't care about this! Uncle Ruke! I just love Irina, I hope to be with her."

"But Irina doesn't love you, but she looks like Eshu Rufate who came out of nowhere." Ruk laughed. "My cute Ryan, you forgot a key thing. A king's marriage cannot be determined by love. From ancient times to the present, there have never been any exceptions. Unless she is willing to give up the crown."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means that even if Irina loves you, you can't marry her. No, it should be said that the matter of marrying her has nothing to do with whether she loves you or not."

Ryan raised his head and looked at his uncle in confusion.

"As long as you can keep moving forward, she will have to marry you after reaching a certain level. Do you understand?"

"After a certain degree, she had to marry me?"

"Yes, and in this regard, you are ten times better than Ashu Rufate. If you two start working hard now and assume that your efforts will definitely be rewarded, then Ashu Rufate must work at least three times as hard as you to reach the same height as you. So you don't need to be jealous of him at all."

"I'm not jealous of him, I just..."

"Dear nephew, don't worry, leave this to your uncle. As long as you do what you arranged by your uncle, you will definitely achieve your goal. Our family will surely last forever."

"What should I do?" Ryan suddenly became excited when he heard this.

"All of a sudden, how could I think of a feasible solution immediately? Don't worry, what uncle said has not been done? We will have a chance. First, let me know who are your colleagues? Those people except that Ash Rufate."

Ryan talked about Leo and William Daly one by one.

"Very good, so I'll feel relieved. The two of them... huh? You said they will soon be thrown into this position? No, this doesn't work, it's bad for you. You have to continue partnering with them. It's important to have a colleague like this without worrying about it."

"But there will be many nobles to compete for this position. In order to appease them, the princess will definitely..."

"So, well, I think about it. Once you have it, go find Thomas. As long as Thomas insists that you four continue to serve as deputy generals, then you four will definitely continue to serve as deputy generals. He is a general, and he has a great say in military affairs. Even the princess must accept his opinion. Let me continue to talk to you about everything you saw at the party, and tell me what you hear and see."

Although I don't understand what it means, Ryan still said everything he observed.

"So that's it, I understand. Ryan, can you help me find a military position? I have to help you."

"Uncle, but your body..."

"Don't worry too much about me. Of course, I can't use swords and guns to fight, but I can do jobs such as military Chinese documents."

"Uncle, those who want these positions can probably be lined up in a long line. The most popular ones now are military and court positions. You know the temper of Lord Thomas, he will not accept anyone's mercy."

"Haha, it's really hard for Thomas to do favors. This is also his philosophy of war. But you can let Irina... no, let our King Lanjill help."

"Impossible, uncle, I don't have that much influence... Maybe it can be done if my dad comes."

"Dear nephew, things will be gone long after your father comes. And there is no need to bother him to come. I will write you a letter and you will find a way to deliver the letter to His Majesty Lan Jill. I think this will be done. Are there paper and pens here?"

"Just a letter? But uncle, you can't pretend to be my father's handwriting. If it is exposed, things will be out of control. Dad must..."

"Oh, don't worry, nephew. My letter was written to His Majesty the King in my personal name. I just provide him with a good opinion. As a reward for my contribution, I will write my request in the appendix of the letter, that is, to give me a small military post."

Both paper and pen were ready-made, and Ruk quickly began to write quickly. Generally speaking, unless allowed, peeking at others' writing is an extremely impolite act, so Ryan stood far away. But driven by curiosity, he still glanced secretly. Ruk's handwriting was quite sloppy, as if he was just writing to an ordinary person casually. Ryan only had to carefully distinguish the word "temporary generation", and Ruk finished writing it.

"Okay, nephew, send this letter to His Majesty as soon as possible, the sooner the better. You said that people who want military positions are lined up, so we should hurry up. If someone chooses it, even this letter will be useless."

...

"Do you want to kill me? Irina, my lovely granddaughter?" said the old man in black with a smile and in a sweet and dangerous voice. "Kill me, you are the real master? Oh, no, my dear Irina. You still don't understand. King Power is not a toy for children to play house in their hands. It will swallow any master who is not suitable for it. Remember my warning to you: the king can do whatever he wants, as long as he is willing to pay for it."

"Your father has paid the price for what he wants. Do you want to repeat the same mistake?" The sweetness deliberately pretended to be in the old man in black robe has disappeared, leaving only an anxious roar.

"I have seen too many people want to send others to the grave, but because of lack of reasons, they will kill themselves! If you want to kill me, you should find a suitable reason! If you really do this, I will be very happy!"

The old man in black robe began to suck her with his cane again.

"No, I don't..."

"Lie! Lie! Lie!" the old man roared, "Do you think I can't see through your feelings? Yes, Ashu Rufate is an exception. He is the only knight who is willing to protect you when you are in trouble and get a title from you. Are you seducing him as a woman? He is indeed likely to kill me for you! Your idea is very clever, but it is just a trick of a slut, not a king's strategy!"

"Use your female identity to seduce a man and let him kill his enemies. This kind of dirty and despicable action must not appear on the queen! This is absolutely forbidden! This lesson has never been seen in the imperial sciences I taught you! Whether it is the imperial sciences of light or the imperial sciences of darkness, this stupid action must be forbidden."

The old man in black robe treated her as if he was a livestock - using whipping to let her know when to move forward, turn or stop. If she reacted too slowly, she would urge her with a more severe whip. No, she is not a horse, she will be the queen in the future. She must face everything with a strong attitude...

But God! Her whole body was in great pain. In this case, it was too difficult to pretend to be strong.

Irina squeezed her hands tightly, and let her nails penetrate her flesh deeply. You must not cry! The king has no blood and tears. Nothing can make the king cry. The king only talks about tears to others, but he has no tears.

There was a knock on the door outside, a very rhythmic sound. The old man in black robe stopped his actions and left the room. Originally, when the old man left, Irina would cry. But this time, she found that she could no longer shed tears.

The old man in black robe didn't go out for a long time. When he walked into the room the next time, his anger seemed to have subsided. The old man stood in front of the princess and shook a piece of letter in his hand.

"It seems that I underestimated that boy Ryan." He said, his voice returning to calm, without any emotional peace.

"This man named Ruk is actually his uncle, and he wants to be with him..." he whispered. "No matter how stupid a person is, if he has excellent and trustworthy subordinates, he will become an opponent that cannot be ignored. As long as he is not stupid enough to give up his subordinates, he will become very difficult."

Irina opened her eyes wide, not understanding what these inexplicable words meant. The old man in black robe handed her the letter. When she finished reading, she suddenly felt relieved. A big problem that had been bothering her was solved.

"Tomorrow, you will announce the personnel appointment." The old man in black robe announced. "The position of the general does not need to be changed. Thomas himself has a great influence in Casilos and will not be rejected. Baron Lyonis can become a grand judge. He has an unscrupulous reputation. Even the people of Casilos know that he will definitely treat everyone fairly. The position of the captain of the palace guard can be temporarily vacant, and the remaining titles of Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, Minister of Seals, and Minister of Foreign Affairs will all be added with the words "temporary generation".

"Temporary generation? It's really a good word. It's also a thank you that Luke can think of it. The Saint Gene will be satisfied, and the Casilos will not be disappointed." The old man murmured to himself.

He walked to the table where there were ready-made paper and pen. So he wrote a few simple words, and signed by Irina and stamped her private seal.

"This Luke makes people feel dangerous... I remembered it. It was that sinister and cunning little guy! What did he want to do in the army? Even if he wanted to play tricks, he had to pass the Thomas level... It was impossible. Unless Ryan replaced Thomas and became the commander, he would not do anything!"
